Santa Maria Assunta, Romanesque Revival church in La Spezia, Italy.

Santa Maria Assunta is a church in La Spezia's historic centre, on Piazza Giulio Beverini. Rebuilt after 1943, it has a Latin-cross plan with three naves, six columns of white Carrara marble, pointed arches and cross vaults. Its facade, redesigned by Franco Oliva, repeats the white-and-black banding of Genoese Gothic.

This church was built in 1443 and served as the city's pro-cathedral from 1929 until 1975. It held this important role until a new cathedral was completed, after which it returned to being a parish church.

The church is named for the Assumption of Mary, but its best-known local devotion concerns the Madonna della Neve: in 1864 Abbot Domenico Battolla had that venerated icon moved here from its oratory by the Lagora stream after a flood. It stayed in the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament until 1881, when it was given to the Salesians for their new church.

The church sits in La Spezia's historic center and is easily reached by public transport with parking available nearby. Visiting hours may vary depending on religious services, so it is wise to check before arriving.

The bell tower survived the 19 April 1943 bombing that destroyed almost the whole church; only it and part of the presbytery with its two facing columns are original. The earlier 16th-century tower by Simone da Pistoia, demolished in 1935, held the bell nicknamed Lavezàa, which rang at noon to signal the lunch break.
